rather a poet who imbibes the spirit of his age and who has a gift for assimilating its changes There is another reason why Alberti serves as a standard for Surrealism in Spain This, in a word, is religion, which is to say, the distinctively biblical register of his language and his mental constructs already evident in the titles Sobre los ángeles and Sermones y moradas The point is that Alberti was educated by Jesuits, as was Buñuel, while Dalí was taught by the scarcely less rigorous Christian Brothers, founded by La Salle, another order which had been banned in France.2 Consequently, and typically, Alberti sees religion as a fact of Spanish life, a conditioning ineradicable even in those who, like himself, had long since turned atheist: Esas cosas las conocemos y las tenemos a flor de piel, y cuando queremos ser sinceros nosotros mismos, esa cosa la encontramos en la masa de la sangre … Son cosas que, sobre todo en España, están en la médula ¿verdad? …Toda nuestra educación sido profunda ¿verdad?, y no son cosas que se eliminen fácilmente … Nuestra formación no pudo ser peor … Referente a Buñuel, supongo que estado en un colegio tan religioso como el mío, de jesuítas ¿Y qué? Eso es lo que deja más huella Luego lo rechazamos y lo protestamos, pero, en el fondo, lo que aprendió allí no se desaparece, ¿comprendes?, aunque digamos que sí Y surge constantemente.3 [We understand these things; they’re ingrained in us, and if we’re honest with ourselves we’d say it’s in our blood … It’s in the marrow, at least in Spain … The effect of our schooling runs deep It’s not easily expunged … Our formation could not have been worse … As for Buñuel, I imagine he went to as religious a school as I did, run by Jesuits And? Well, it leaves a deep mark We reject it and fight against it, but in the end what we learnt stays with us – you know what I mean? – even if we say it doesn’t It keeps coming back …] The thrust of my argument is that religion, the most traditional facet of Spanish life, is paradoxically the underlying reason why the avant-garde movement flourished in Spain and, furthermore, that the pervasive influence of religion is what most distinguishes surrealist practice in Spain from the For Dalí this distinction was decisive: ‘la gran diferencia entre Buel y yo es que él estudió los jesuítas y yo los hermanos de las Escuelas Cristianas’ [the main difference between Buñuel and me is that he studied under Jesuits and I with the Brothers of the Christian Schools] See Max Aub, Conversaciones Luis
